Remembrance Day

Checklist:
X.....Go to Parliament Hill for Remembrance Day, hear Royal Bands, watch thousands of retired
service men and women march through the street, and almost see the Queen place a
memorial on the Cenotaph. Instead, the view was blocked by the back of a street sign with
an "Impeach Bush" sticker.
X.....Get close with complete strangers and experience one of the worst foot-traffic jams in
twenty-one years. There's no such thing as a personal bubble in London, and I'm finally
comfortable with that.
X.....Go to Old Spittalfield Market near Liverpool Station and have opinion of hummus radically
changed at The Real Greek restaurant. One vendor was stelling Banksie photos. Not a
chance--I'll take my own Banksie photos.
X.....Write marketing paper comparing Borough and Spittalfield. Borough is much better. Way
more food variety. Paper is done.
_.....First homemade meal with new homestay family. Sunday roast couldn't sound any better.

In two month's time, I'll be coming home a completely different person. No more of that watery skim milk, fried eggs, or basic snack foods. Give me whole milk, hard boiled eggs, hummus, and olives.
